I missed this the first time round, I do tend to abridge
articles whilst reading them and sometimes miss parts,
but:-
I _frequently_ send people email when they have breached
nettiquette, which doesn't appear on the net, so don't
always assume that people make a fus in public, it's only
the _really_ stupdi ones which irritate me enough to make
my feelings public.
Sod it, I've just written in another article that I
wasn't going to respond to any more, and here I am doing
just that.
